The Hoops are expected to bring in further new recruits, with Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke reporting that the club’s recruitment team are ‘working overtime to bring in fresh blood’.
“He [O’Neill] will be hoping that he will get the backing from the board. They obviously have come in for bit of criticism from fans for not putting their hands in the pockets and making too many signings for Celtic. So yeah, it’s a huge window for Celtic.
“They need to make signings and some top class signings as well just to improve that squad if they are to have any chance of catching Hearts at the top of the table.”
